Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officer and Directors.
Under
the Israeli Companies Law 1999 (the “Companies Law”), a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach
of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part,
for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included
in the company’s articles of association. The Registrant’s articles of association include such a provision. The company may
not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
Under
the Companies Law, a company may indemnify an office holder for the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed
by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking given by the company in advance of the act or following the act,
provided its articles of association authorize such indemnification:
| |
● |
a monetary liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount, or according to criteria, determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances. Such undertaking shall detail the foreseen events and amount or criteria mentioned above; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea); and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction; and |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea). |
In
addition, under the Companies Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed
by him or her as an office holder, if and to the extent provided in the company’s articles of association:
| |
● |
a breach of a duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; and |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party. |
Under
the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:
| |
● |
a
breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the
extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
a
breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the
office holder; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
an
act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
a
fine or penalty levied against the office holder. |
Under
the Companies Law, the approval of exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by
the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also
by the shareholders.
The Registrant’s
amended and restated articles of association permit it to exculpate, indemnify and insure its office holders to the fullest extent permitted
under the Companies Law (other than indemnification for litigation expenses in connection with a monetary sanction).
The Registrant
has entered into indemnification and exculpation agreements with each of its current office holders exculpating them from a breach of
their duty of care to it to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent
permitted by the Companies Law.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings
| (a) |
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
| |
(1) |
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
| |
(i) |
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
|
| |
|
|
| |
(ii) |
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; |
| |
|
|
| |
(iii) |
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; |
provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
| |
(2) |
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| |
|
|
| |
(3) |
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
| |
|
|
| |
(4) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus
of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus
relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an
offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser |
| (b) |
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| |
|
| (c) |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in Foster City, California, on this 19th day of April, 2024.

RE:
Registration on Form S-8
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as Israeli counsel to Notable Labs, Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), in connection with its filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement on Form S-8 on or
about April 19, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), relating to the registration of, with respect to the Company’s ordinary shares, NIS 0.35 par value per share (the
“Ordinary Shares”): (i) 351,426 Ordinary Shares, which
may be issued upon the exercise of options or are reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2015 Stock Plan (the “2015
Plan”), and (ii) 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which may be issued upon the exercise of options or are reserved for issuance under
the Company’s Employee Share Ownership and Option Plan (2024) (the “2024 Plan” and together with the 2015 Plan,
each, a “Plan”, and collectively, the “Plans”).
In
our capacity as counsel to the Company, and in addition to reviewing the Registration Statement, we have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s (i) Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Articles”),
(ii) the Plans, (iii) resolutions of the Company’s board of directors and (iv) other statements of corporate officers and other
representatives of the Company and other documents provided to us by the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis
for this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted
to us as copies or facsimiles. As to any facts material to this opinion, to the extent that we did not independently establish relevant
facts, we have relied on certificates of public officials and certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company. We have
also assumed the truth of all facts communicated to us by the Company and that all consents, minutes and protocols of meetings of the
Company’s board of directors, which have been provided to us, are true and accurate and prepared in accordance with the Company’s
Articles and all applicable laws. In addition, we have assumed that the Company will receive the full consideration for the Ordinary
Shares (which may consist, in part or in full, of services performed for the Company).
We
are admitted to practice law in the State of Israel and the opinion expressed herein is expressly limited to the laws of the State of
Israel.
On
the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Ordinary Shares being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the respective Plan, pursuant to agreements with respect to the respective Plan and, as the case
may be, pursuant to the terms of the awards that have been or may be granted under the respective Plan, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this opinion and such consent, we
do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities
Act.
This
opinion letter is rendered as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments
that may be brought to our attention after the effective date of the Registration Statement that may alter, affect or modify the opinions
expressed herein.

truly yours, |

1.1. |
This
plan, as amended from time to time, shall be known as the “Notable Labs, Ltd. Employee Share Ownership and Option Plan (2024)”
(the “Plan”). The purpose and intent of the Plan is to provide incentives to employees, directors, officers, service
providers, consultants and/or advisors of the Company, the parent and/or of subsidiaries and/or of affiliated companies of the Company
(each a “Related Company” and collectively, “Related Companies”) by providing them with the
opportunity to purchase shares of the Company and by the grant of options to purchase Shares, awards of restricted Shares (“Restricted
Shares”), Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and other Share-based Awards pursuant to the Plan (“Awards”). |
The
Plan is designed to comply with Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961, as amended from time to time, or
any provision which may amend or replace it (the “Ordinance” and “Section 102”) and the rules,
regulations and orders or procedures promulgated thereunder from time to time, as amended or replaced from time to time (the “Rules”)
and to enable the Company and grantees hereunder to benefit from Section 102 and the Rules and also to enable the Company to grant options
and issue shares outside the context of Section 102. The Company, however, does not warrant that the Plan will be recognized by the income
tax authorities or that future changes will not be made to the provisions of the law, regulations or the Rules, which are promulgated
from time to time, or that any exemption or benefit currently available pursuant to Section 102 will not be abolished.
The
Plan is further designed to enable the provision of incentives as set forth herein to grantees in jurisdictions other than the State
of Israel, with respect to which the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its sole discretion, shall
determine the necessary changes to be made to the Plan and set forth the relevant conditions in the Agreements (as defined in Section
9 below) with the grantees in order to comply with the requirements of the tax regimes in any such other jurisdictions and its determination
regarding these matters shall be final and binding. The provisions enabling the grant of Options that qualify as “incentive stock
options” under Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as the
provisions applicable to other Awards granted to eligible participants who are U.S. residents or subject to U.S. income tax, are attached
hereto as Appendix A.
| |
1.2. |
Should
any provision of Section 102, regulations thereunder or the Rules which apply to employees or any such other grantees as applicable
under the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules, be amended, such amendment shall be deemed included in the Plan with respect to
Awards granted or shares issued in the context of Section 102. Where a conflict arises between any section of the Plan, the Agreement
or their application, and the provisions of any tax law, rule or regulations, including without limitation the Ordinance and/or the
Rules, whether relied upon for tax relief or otherwise, the latter shall prevail, and the Board in its sole discretion shall determine
the necessary changes to be made to the Plan and its determination regarding this matter shall be final and binding. |
| |
1.3. |
In
the event the Company’s shares should be registered for trading on the NASDAQ or on any other stock exchange, whether in Israel
or abroad, the Awards and/or shares allotted in accordance with the Plan may be made conditional to any requirement or instruction
of the stock exchange authorities or of any other relevant authority acting pursuant to applicable law as shall exist from time to
time. In such case, by means of a Board resolution, the Plan and any agreements prepared pursuant hereto, may be amended as necessary
to meet such requirements. In the event of a contradiction between any such amendment and the Plan and/or any agreement’s provisions,
the amendment shall prevail. |
| 2. |
ADMINISTRATION
OF THE PLAN |
| |
2.1. |
The
Plan shall be administered by the Board and/or by any committee of the Board so designated by the Board. Any subsequent references
herein to the Board shall also mean any such committee if appointed and, unless the powers of the committee have been specifically
limited by law or otherwise, such committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted herein. Subject to Sections 5 and 17

102(b)(2) of the Ordinance or otherwise (Awards granted either under the Ordinary Income Route or under the Capital Gains Route shall
be referred to herein as “Approved 102 Awards”), or without a trustee according to Section 102(c) of the Ordinance
(the “Unapproved 102 Awards”), (vi) when an Award can be exercised and whether in whole or in installments, (vii)
and to make any other elections with respect to the Plan pursuant to applicable law.
Subject
to Section 17, the Board shall have plenary authority to construe and interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind the rules
and regulations relating to it and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
All determinations and decisions of the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and all related orders and resolutions of the
Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its shareholders, grantees and their estates
and beneficiaries. |
| |
2.2. |
Any
directive or notice signed by a member of the Board authorized therefore by the Board shall constitute conclusive proof and authority
for every act or decision of the Company. |
| |
2.3. |
No
director or officer of the Company shall be personally liable or obligated to any grantee as a result of any decision made and/or
action taken with respect to the Plan or its interpretation or execution. |

SHARES
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN |
The
shares subject to the Plan shall be Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value NIS 0.35 each (the “Ordinary Shares”).
The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 4,000,000 (Four Million) Ordinary Shares, and such number shall be
increased automatically: (i) on an annual basis on January 1 of each year (unless resolved otherwise by the Board of Directors), such
that the number of shares issuable under the Plan shall equal 35% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully
diluted basis; and (ii) in the event that any Ordinary Shares would have otherwise returned to the Company’s employee share ownership
and option plans of 2000, 2011 and 2014, such Ordinary Shares shall be added to this Plan; and (iii) may be further adjusted in accordance
with Section 17. Such shares may be in whole or in part, as the Board shall from time to time determine and subject to applicable law,
authorized and un-issued Ordinary Shares or issued and fully paid Ordinary Shares which shall have been purchased by the trustee hereunder
with funds provided by the Company or reacquired by the Company, subject to applicable law. If any Award granted under the Plan shall
expire, terminate or be canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, such shares subject thereto shall again be available
for the purposes of the Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, any such shares which may remain un-issued and which are not subject to outstanding
options shall cease to be reserved for the purposes of the Plan.
| 4. |
DESIGNATION
OF PARTICIPANTS |
| |
4.1. |
The
persons eligible for participation in the Plan as grantees shall include any employee, director, office holder, service provider,
consultant and/or advisors of the Company or any Related Company or any other person or entity so designated by the Board, provided
that for the purpose of the Israeli tax law, Israeli Employees (as defined herein) may only be granted Awards under Section 102 of
the Ordinance; and Israeli Non-Employees (as defined below) may only be granted Awards under Section 3(9) of the Ordinance. |
For
the purpose of this Section:
“Israeli

within the meaning of Section 102(a) of the Ordinance, including an individual who is serving as a director or an office holder, but
excluding Controlling Shareholder, who is an Israeli resident or deemed to be an Israeli resident for the payment of tax.
“Controlling
Shareholder” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 32(9) of the Ordinance.
“Israeli
Non-Employees” shall mean a consultant, adviser, service provider, Controlling Shareholder or any other person who is not an
Israeli Employee, who is an Israeli resident or deemed to be an Israeli resident for the payment of tax.
| |
4.2. |
The
grant of an Award hereunder shall neither entitle the grantee to participate nor disqualify the grantee from participating in, any
other grant of Awards pursuant to the Plan or any other incentive plan of the Company or any Related Company. |
| |
4.3. |
Anything
in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, all grants of Awards to directors and office holders shall be authorized and implemented
in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 or any successor act or regulation, as in effect from time
to time. |
| |
5.1. |
The
consideration to be paid by a grantee for each share purchased by exercising an Award (the “Exercise Price”) shall
be as determined by the Board or set forth in the grantee’s Agreement, provided that the Exercise Price shall not be
less than the nominal value of the shares subject to the Award. |
| |
5.2. |
The
Exercise Price shall be payable upon the exercise of the Award in a form satisfactory to the Board, including without limitation,
by cash or check, cashless, deduction of salary or any other method of payment all as shall be determined by the Board. The Board
shall have the authority to postpone the date of payment on such terms as it may determine. |
| 6. |
EXCLUSIVITY
OF THE PLAN |
The
adoption of this Plan, by itself, shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any incentive arrangement previously approved
by the Board or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of Awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable
generally or only in specific cases.
| 7. |
DESIGNATION
OF AWARDS PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 |
| |
7.1. |
The
Company may designate options granted to Israeli Employees pursuant to Section 102 as Unapproved 102 Awards or Approved 102 Awards. |
| |
7.2. |
The
grant of Approved 102 Awards shall be made under this Plan adopted by the Board, and shall be conditioned upon the approval of this
Plan by the ITA. |
| |
7.3. |
Approved
102 Awards may either be classified as Capital Gain Option (“CGO”) or Ordinary Income Option (“OIO”). |
| |
7.4. |
Approved
102 Awards elected and designated by the Company to qualify under the capital gain tax treatment in accordance with the provisions
of Section 102(b)(2) shall be referred to herein as CGO. |
| |
7.5. |
Approved
102 Awards elected and designated by the Company to qualify under the ordinary income tax treatment in accordance with the provisions
of Section 102(b)(1) shall be referred to herein as OIO. |
| |
7.6. |
The
Company’s election of the type of Approved 102 Awards as CGO or OIO granted to Israeli Employees (the “Election”),
shall be appropriately filed with the ITA before the date of grant of an Approved 102 Award. Such Election shall become effective
beginning the first date of grant of an Approved 102 Award under this Plan and shall remain in effect at least until the end of the
year following the year during which the Company first granted Approved 102 Awards. The Election shall obligate the Company to grant
only the type of Approved 102 Award it has elected, and shall apply to all grantees who were granted Approved 102 Awards during
the period indicated herein, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(g) of the Ordinance. For the avoidance of doubt,
such Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Unapproved 102 Awards or any other Awards simultaneously. |
| |
7.7. |
For
the avoidance of doubt, the designation of Unapproved 102 Awards and Approved 102 Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in Section 102 of the Ordinance and the regulations promulgated thereunder. |
| |
7.8. |
With
regards to Approved 102 Awards, the provisions of the Plan and/or the Agreement (as defined herein) shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 102 and the Tax Assessing Officer’s permit, and the said provisions and permit shall be deemed an integral part
of the Plan and of the Agreement. Any provision of Section 102 and/or the said permit which is necessary in order to receive and/or
to keep any tax benefit pursuant to Section 102, which is not expressly specified in the Plan or the Agreement, shall be considered
binding upon the Company and the grantees. |
| |
7.9. |
All
Approved 102 Awards must be held in trust by a trustee appointed by the Board and approved by the Israeli Income Tax Authorities
(the “Trustee” and the “ITA” respectively) in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(a)
of the Ordinance. The Trustee shall have all the powers provided by law, including, without limitation, the Ordinance, Section 102
and the Rules, the trust agreement with the Company and the Plan and shall act pursuant to the provisions thereof, as they shall
apply from time to time. |
| |
The
Board shall be entitled to replace the Trustee and/or to nominate another person to serve as a Trustee in lieu of the existing Trustee
at its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, and that the new Trustee shall have the same powers and authority which this Plan
grants the Trustee. |
| |
7.10. |
All
Approved 102 Awards including, without limitation, the shares issued pursuant thereto, and all rights deriving from or in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, any bonus shares (including share dividends) issued in connection therewith, shall be issued
by the Company in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the grantee and the share certificates representing any shares issued pursuant
to options exercised hereunder, shall be issued by the Company in the name of the Trustee in trust for the designated grantee and
shall be deposited with the Trustee, held by the Trustee and registered in the Trustee’s name in the register of shareholders
of the Company for such period as determined by the Board but, in the case of Approved 102 Awards, not less than the period set forth
therein or otherwise required, or approved, with respect thereto pursuant to Israeli law, regulations promulgated thereunder, the
Ordinance, Section 102 or the Rules, as shall be in effect from time to time (the “Restriction Period”) and the
same tax route pursuant to Section 102 shall apply thereto. Furthermore, Approved 102 Awards granted or shares issued pursuant to
such Approved 102 Awards shall not be sold or transferred until the end of the Restriction Period, unless otherwise allowed or determined
by the Israeli tax authorities. Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or transfer occurs during the Restriction Period, the
sanctions under Section 102 of the Ordinance and under the Rules or regulation or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder shall
apply to and shall be borne by such grantee. |
| |
7.11. |
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall not release any shares allocated or issued upon exercise of Approved 102 Awards prior
to the full payment of the grantee’s tax liabilities arising from Approved 102 Awards which were granted to the Trustee and/or
any shares allocated or issued upon exercise of such Awards. |
| |
7.12. |
For
as long as any shares are held by the Trustee or registered in Trustee’s name or for as long as the certificates representing
any shares are held by the Trustee, the Trustee alone shall be entitled to receive every notice to which a shareholder is entitled,
or to demand any information and any financial and/or other report to which a shareholder is entitled from the Company, and shall
be entitled to exercise every other right of the shareholders vis-a-vis the Company. |
| |
7.13. |
Subject
to applicable law, shares registered in the Trustee’s name shall be represented at all meetings of shareholders of the Company
and in accordance with the instructions of the grantees on whose behalf they are held and in the absence of such instructions they
shall abstain. |
| |
7.14. |
Each
Approved 102 Award will be subject to the Israeli index base of the Value of Benefit, as defined in Section 102(a) of the Ordinance,
as determined by the Board in its discretion, pursuant to the Rules, from time to time. In the event that the Company effects a public
offering of its shares in any stock exchange outside of Israel, the Board may amend retroactively the Israeli index base, pursuant
to the Rules, without the grantee’s consent. |
| 8. |
DESIGNATION
OF OTHER AWARDS |
| |
8.1 |
The
Company may designate Awards granted to Israeli Non Employees as Options under Section 3(9) of the Ordinance (“3(9) Options”)
and such Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3(9) of the Ordinance and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. To the extent required by the Ordinance or the ITA or otherwise |
| |
deemed
by the Board prudent or advisable, the 3(9) Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be issued to a Trustee nominated by the Administrator
in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance. In such event, the Trustee shall hold such Options or underlying shares in trust,
until exercised by the grantee, pursuant to the Company’s instructions from time to time as set forth in a trust agreement,
which will have been entered into between the Company and the Trustee. If determined by the Board or the Administrator, and subject
to such trust agreement, the Trustee shall be responsible for withholding any taxes to which a grantee may become liable upon the
exercise of Options. |
| |
8.2 |
Designation
of Awards as Restricted Shares |
The
Board may award Restricted Shares to any eligible grantee, including to the Trustee on behalf of the grantee under Section 102 of the
Ordinance according to an agreement to be approved by the Board and pursuant to the following:
I.
Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution (in which case they shall be transferred subject to all restrictions then or thereafter applicable thereto),
until such restricted shares shall have vested (the period from the date of the Award until the date of vesting of the Restricted Share
thereunder being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”). The Board may also impose such additional or alternative
restrictions and conditions on the Restricted Shares, as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. Certificates
for shares issued pursuant to Restricted Share Awards shall bear an appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, and any attempt
to dispose of any such shares in contravention of such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect.
II.
Subject to such exceptions as may be determined by the Board, if the grantee’s continuous employment with or service to the Company
or any Related Company shall terminate for any reason prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period of an Award or prior to the payment
in full of the purchase price of any Restricted Shares with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired, any Shares remaining
subject to vesting or with respect to which the purchase price has not been paid in full, shall thereupon be forfeited and shall be deemed
transferred to, and reacquired by, or cancelled by, as the case may be, the Company or a Related Company in consideration for their nominal
value subject to all applicable laws. Upon forfeiture of Restricted Shares, the grantee shall have no further rights with respect to
such Restricted Shares.
| |
8.3 |
Designation
of Awards as Restricted Shares Units |
An
RSU is an Award covering a number of shares that is settled by issuance of those shares. The Board may award Restricted Shares to any
eligible grantee, including to the Trustee on behalf of the grantee under Section 102 of the Ordinance according to an agreement to be
approved by the Board (“Restricted Share Unit Agreement”) and pursuant to the following:
I.
Other than the nominal value of the shares, no payment of cash shall be required as consideration for RSUs. RSUs may or may not be subject
to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Unit
Agreement.
II.
Without limitation of Section 14, no voting or dividend rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the actual issuance of shares in
the name of the grantee. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan (as may be amended from time to time) to the contrary, unless otherwise
specified by the Board, each RSU shall be for a term of seven (7) years. Each Restricted Share Unit Agreement shall specify its term
and any conditions on the time or times for settlement, and provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of termination
of grantee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Related Company, and may provide for earlier settlement in the event
of the grantee’s death, disability or other events.
III.
Settlement of vested RSUs shall be made in the form of shares. Distribution to a grantee of an amount (or amounts) from settlement of
vested RSUs can be deferred to a date after settlement as determined by the Board. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased
by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until the grant of RSUs is settled, the number of such RSUs shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant hereto.
| |
8.4 |
Other
Share or Share Based Awards |
The
Board may grant other Awards under the Plan pursuant to which shares, cash or a combination thereof, are or may in the future be acquired
or received, or Awards denominated in units, including units valued on the basis of measures other than market value. The Board may also
grant share appreciation rights without the grant of an accompanying option, which rights shall permit the grantees to receive, at the
time of any exercise of such rights, cash equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value of all shares in respect to which the right
was granted exceeds the exercise price thereof. The Board may, and it is hereby deemed to be an Award under the terms of the Plan, grant
to a grantee (including Israeli Employees) the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company in connection with any public offerings
of the Company’s securities. Such other Share-based Awards may be granted alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any Award of
any type granted under the Plan and must be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.
| 9. |
STANDARD
AGREEMENT; TERMINATION OF ENGAGEMENT |
Unless
otherwise determined by the Board, every grantee shall be required to sign an Award agreement or other document as shall be determined
by the Board, in the form approved by the Board from time to time (the “Agreement”). Each Agreement shall provide
the vesting schedule, Exercise Price, term, and additional provision for the Award as determined by the Board.
The
Agreement need not be identical with respect to each grantee. The following terms, however, shall apply to all Awards, and, mutatis mutandis,
shares, unless otherwise determined by the Board or set forth in the grantee’s Agreement:
| |
9.1. |
The
Exercise Price shall be paid by the grantee to the Company no later than the date of exercise of the Award. The Board shall have
the authority to postpone the date of payment on such terms as it may determine. |
| |
9.2. |
The
Award and/or the right to the Award and/or to the shares are personal and except insofar as is specified in this Plan, and, where
applicable, subject to Section 102 and the Rules, may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, withheld, attached or otherwise charged
either voluntarily or pursuant to any law, except by way of transfer pursuant to the laws of inheritance or as otherwise determined
by the Board, and no power of attorney or deed of transfer, whether the same has immediate effect or shall take effect on a future
date, shall be given with respect thereto. During the lifetime of the grantee the Award may only be exercised by the designated grantee
or, if granted to the Trustee, by the Trustee on behalf of the designated grantee. A note as to the provisions of this sub-section
or a legend may appear on any document which grants the option and in particular in the Agreement, and also on any share certificate. |
| |
9.3. |
The
right to exercise the option is granted to the Trustee on behalf of the grantee and shall be subject to a vesting schedule, and may
be further subject to any performance goals and measurements as may be determined by the Board. Unless otherwise determined by the
Board, vesting shall be in installments, gradually over a period of 4 (four) years from the date of grant of the Award or such other
period or periods as determined by the Board as follows: 1/4 upon the first anniversary of the grant and 1/16 upon the end of each
subsequent quarter over the course of the following three (3) years (“Vesting Periods”), provided that, unless
otherwise determined by the Board or set forth in the respective Agreement, upon each of such vesting dates the grantee continues
to be employed by, or provide services to, or serve as a director or officer of the Company or a Related Company on a continual basis
from the date of the grant thereof. |
| |
9.4. |
In
addition, during each of the Vesting Periods, the Award may be exercised in relation to all or part of the shares allocated for any
previous Vesting Period in which the Award was not fully exercised, provided, subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 hereof, that
at the time of the exercise of the Award the grantee has continued to be employed by, or provide services to or serve as a director
or officer of the Company or a Related Company on a continual basis from the date of the grant thereof and until the date of their
exercise. After the end of the Vesting Periods and during the balance of the Award period, the Award may be exercised, from time
to time, in relation to all or part of the shares which have not at that time been exercised and which remain subject to the Award,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 hereof and to any condition in the Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect
to a minimum number of shares with respect to which the Award may be exercised and any provision which determines the number of times
that the Trustee may send the Company notice of exercise on behalf of the grantee in respect of the Award. Without derogating from
any discretionary authority granted to the Board under the Plan, the Board shall be entitled at any time to shorten the vesting schedule
or any Vesting Period. |
| |
9.5. |
The
Board may determine at its sole discretion, that any grantee shall be entitled to receive the Award or the shares, through the Trustee,
pursuant to the provisions of this Plan or, subject to the provisions of Section 102, as applicable, directly in the name of the
grantee, immediately upon execution of the Agreement or on such other date or dates as the Company has undertaken towards such grantee.
The Board shall be entitled, subject to applicable law and the terms of the respective Agreement to repurchase the shares from the
grantee. |
| |
9.6. |
Termination
of Engagement |
9.6.1.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board and/or set forth in grantee’s Agreement, if the engagement of a grantee is terminated
or if he ceases to serve as an officer or director of the Company or a Related Company (as the case may be) prior to the complete exercise
of an Award, (a) by reason of death or disability (as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion), the Award shall remain exercisable
for a period of one (1) year following such termination (but only to the extent exercisable at termination of engagement or appointment,
as the case may be, and not beyond the scheduled expiration date); (b) by reason of retirement, pursuant to applicable law with the approval
of the Board, the Award shall remain exercisable for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following such termination (but only
to the extent exercisable at termination of engagement or appointment, as the case may be, and not beyond the scheduled expiration date);
and (c) for any other reason other than for Cause, the Award shall remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days following the
earlier of such termination or notice of termination (but only to the extent exercisable at the earlier of termination or notice of termination
of engagement or appointment, as the case may be, and not beyond the scheduled expiration date); or (d) for Cause (as such term is defined
below), as shall be determined by the Board, all Awards held by or on behalf of such grantee shall immediately expire upon the earlier
of such termination or notice of termination.
For
purposes hereof, the term “Cause” shall mean any of (i) a material breach by the grantee of the grantee’s obligations
under any agreement with the Company or any Related Company (including breach of material confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation
covenants) or of any material duty of the Grantee to the Company or any Related Company thereof; (ii) the commission by the grantee of
an act of fraud or embezzlement against the Company or any Related Company or the willful taking of action injurious to the business
or prospects of the Company or any Related Company; (iii) the conviction of the grantee of a felony; and (iv) the grantee’s involvement
in an act or omission which constitutes breach of trust between the grantee and the Company or any Related Company.
The
Board may determine whether any given leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment engagement or appointment, as applicable.
Awards awarded under this Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment or engagement, as applicable, so long as the grantee
continues to be an employee, director, officer, service provider, consultant and/or advisor of the Company or a Related Company (as the
case may be).
9.6.2
With respect to Unapproved 102 Awards, if the grantee ceases to be engaged by the Company or any Related Company, the grantee shall extend
to the Company and/or its Related Company a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of shares, all in accordance
with the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules, regulation or orders promulgated thereunder.
9.6.3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its absolute discretion but subject to Section 11.1, extend the period of exercise of
an Award by a grantee or grantees for such time as it shall determine either with or without conditions.
| 10. |
ACCELERATION
OF AN AWARD |
| |
10.1. |
Unless
so determined by the Board or set forth in the applicable Agreement, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
the Company, or a Significant Event, in which the surviving corporation or the controlling person or entity, as applicable, does
not assume or substitute the outstanding options held by or for the benefit of any grantee and which have not yet vested, then notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, upon the consummation of the applicable event, any unexercised portion of such outstanding Awards
and any unvested Restricted Shares or RSUs shall expire. |
| |
10.2. |
The
Board shall determine, at its absolute discretion, whether outstanding Awards held by or for the benefit of any grantee and which
have not yet vested, have been assumed or substituted and whether any acceleration shall be applicable. |
| |
10.3. |
Each
of the following shall be a “Significant Event”: (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company
is not the continuing or surviving corporation, other than a transaction in which the holders of Ordinary Shares (on an as converted
basis) immediately prior thereto have the same, or substantially similar, proportionate ownership of Ordinary Shares (on an as converted
basis) of the surviving corporation immediately after the transaction and a transaction in which the holders of Ordinary Shares (on
an as converted basis) immediately prior thereto own a majority of the voting power of the surviving corporation; or (b) any sale,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets or all
or substantially all of the outstanding and issued shares of the Company; or (c) any person or group other than the Company making
a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire any Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares) for cash, securities
or any other consideration, provided that: (i) (y) at least a portion of such securities sought pursuant to the offer in question
is acquired; and (z) after consummation of such offer, the person in question is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
20% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares; or (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning
of such period constituted the entire Board ceasing for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company’s shareholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period. |
| 11. |
TERM
OF AWARDS EXERCISE |
| |
11.1. |
The
term of each Award shall be for such period as the Board shall determine, but not more than 10 (ten) years from the date of grant
thereof or such shorter period as is prescribed in Section 9.6 hereof, provided, however, that in the case of Options granted subject
to the terms of the US Appendix, such period shall not exceed the period specified in the US Appendix. |
| |
11.2. |
A
grantee who desires that the Trustee exercise an Award granted to the Trustee on his behalf shall so instruct the Trustee in writing
in the form annexed hereto as Appendix B or in such other form as shall be approved by the Board from time to time. The notice
shall be accompanied by payment of the full Award Exercise Price of such shares as provided in the Agreement. |
| |
11.3. |
As
a condition for the exercise of the Award, the grantee shall pay, or otherwise make arrangements to the Company’s satisfaction,
for the payment of the tax and other obligatory payments applicable to him (including all sums payable arising out of or in connection
with the Company’s obligation to deduct tax and other obligatory payments at source) pursuant to applicable law and the provisions
of the Plan. |
| |
11.4. |
Upon
receipt of all the requisite documents, approvals and payments from the grantee, including sufficient proof of payment or other arrangement
with respect to the payment of any applicable taxes in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver
a copy of the notice to the Company whereupon the Company shall allot the shares in the name of the Trustee. |
| |
11.5. |
A
grantee who desires to exercise an Award granted directly to the grantee (and not through the Trustee), subject to the approval of
the Board, shall so notify the Company in writing in such form as shall be prescribed by the Board from time to time. As a condition
for the exercise of the Award, the grantee shall pay or otherwise make arrangements, to the Company’s satisfaction, for the
payment of the tax and other obligatory payments applicable to him (including all sums payable by the Company arising out of its
obligation to deduct tax and other obligatory payments at source) pursuant to applicable law and the provisions of the Plan. Upon
receipt of all the requisite documents, approvals and payments from the grantee, including sufficient proof of payment or other arrangement
with respect to the payment of any applicable taxes in form satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall allot the shares in the
name of the grantee. |
| |
11.6. |
Without
limiting the foregoing, the Board may, with the consent of the grantee, from time to time cancel all or any portion of any option
then subject to exercise, and the Company’s obligation in respect of such Award may be discharged by: (i) payment to the grantee
or to the Trustee on behalf of the grantee of an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the relevant
shares at the date of such cancellation subject to the portion of the Award so canceled over the aggregate Exercise Price of such
shares; (ii) the issuance or transfer to the grantee or to the Trustee on behalf of the grantee of shares of the Company with a Fair
Market Value at the date of such transfer equal to any such excess; or (iii) a combination of cash and shares with a combined value
equal to any such excess, all as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. |
For
purposes hereof, the “Fair Market Value” of an Ordinary Share as of a particular date shall mean: (i) if the shares
are listed on any securities exchange, the average closing sales price per Share on the securities exchange (including, if applicable,
The NASDAQ Stock Market) on which the Shares are principally traded over the thirty (30) trading day period preceding the subject date;
(ii) if the shares are then quoted in an over-the-counter market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for the Shares in that
over-the-counter market during the thirty (30) trading day period preceding the subject date; (iii) if the shares are not then listed
on a securities exchange or quoted in an over-the-counter market, such value as the Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine, with
full authority to determine the method for making such determination and which determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties,
and shall be made after such consultations with outside legal, accounting and other experts as the Committee may deem advisable. The
Board shall maintain a written record of its method of determining such value. If the shares are listed or quoted on more than one established
stock exchange or over-the-counter market, the Board shall determine the principal such exchange or market and utilize the price of the
shares on that exchange or market (determined as per the method described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, as applicable) for the purpose
of determining Fair Market Value.
Subject
to applicable law, the grantee shall be liable for all taxes, duties, fines and other payments which may be imposed by the tax authorities
(whether in Israel or abroad) and for every obligatory payment of whatever source in respect of the Awards, the shares (including, without
limitation, upon the grant of Awards, the exercise of the Awards, the sale of the shares or the registration of the shares in the grantee’s
name) or dividends or any other benefit in respect thereof and/or for all charges which shall accrue to the grantee, the Company, any
Related Company and/or to the Trustee in connection with the Plan, the Awards and/or the shares, or any act or omission of the grantee
or the Company in connection therewith or pursuant to any determination of the applicable tax or other authorities.
| |
13.2. |
Deduction
at Source |
The
Company (including any Related Company) and/or the Trustee shall have the right to withhold or require the grantee to pay an amount in
cash or to retain or sell without notice Ordinary Shares in value sufficient to cover any tax or obligatory payment required by a governmental
entity administrative authority to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the Awards or the shares subject thereto
(including, without limitation, upon their grant, exercise or sale or the registration of Shares in the grantee’s name) or with
respect to dividends or any other benefits in respect thereof (“Withholding Tax”), and to make payment (or to reimburse
itself or himself for payment made) to the appropriate tax or other authority of an amount in cash equal to the amount of such Withholding
Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grantee shall be entitled to satisfy the obligation to pay any Withholding Tax, in whole or in
part, by providing the Company and/or the Trustee with funds sufficient to enable the Company and/or the Trustee to pay such Withholding
Tax.
| |
13.3. |
Certificate
of Authorization of Assessing Officer |
The
Company (including any Related Company) or the Trustee shall at any time be entitled to apply to the assessing officer, and in the case
of a grantee abroad, to any foreign tax authority, for receipt of their certificate of authorization as to the amount of tax which the

RIGHTS
AS A SHAREHOLDER; DIVIDENDS |
| |
14.1. |
A
grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the grantee shall

the record holder of the subject shares. In the case of Approved 102 Awards or 3(9) Awards (if such Awards are being held by a Trustee),

of the Company with respect to the shares covered by the Award until the date of the release of such shares from the Trustee to the
grantee and the transfer of record ownership of such shares to the grantee. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or
extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution of other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date on which the grantee or Trustee (as applicable) becomes the record holder of the Shares covered by an Award. |
| |

respect to all Awards issued in the form of shares hereunder or upon the exercise of Awards hereunder, any and all voting rights

grantee’s entitlements from the Company or any Related Company or in the calculation of any social welfare right or other rights
or benefits arising out of the employee/employer relationship between the parties or any other engagement by the Company of the grantee.
If, pursuant to any law, the Company or any Related Company shall be obliged for the purposes of calculation of the said items to
take into account income or gain actually or theoretically credited to the grantee, the grantee shall indemnify the Company or any
Related Company, against any expense caused to it in this regard. |
| |
15.2. |
Nothing
in the Plan shall be interpreted as obliging the Company or any Related Company to employ or otherwise engage the grantee and nothing
in the Plan or any option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any grantee any right to continue in the employment (or other
engagement or appointment, as applicable) of the Company or any Related Company or restrict the right of the Company or any Related
Company to terminate such employment (or other engagement or appointment, as applicable) at any time. The grantee shall have no claim
whatsoever against the Company or any Related Company as a result of the termination of his employment (or other engagement or appointment,
as applicable), including, without limitation, any claim that such termination causes any Awards to expire or otherwise terminate
and/or prevents the grantee from exercising the Awards and/or from receiving or retaining any shares pursuant to any agreement between
him and the Company, or results in any loss due to an early imposition, or earlier than anticipated imposition, of tax or other liability
pursuant to applicable law. |
| 16. |
ADJUSTMENTS
UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION |
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of the Plan, the Board shall take such actions, if any, as it deems appropriate for the adjustment of the number

of any stock dividend (bonus shares), share split, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, liquidation,
split-up, split-off, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Board may make any
adjustments it deems appropriate, including in the aggregate number and class of shares available under the Plan, and the Board’s
determination in this regard shall be conclusive.
| 17. |
TERM,
TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT |
Unless
the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as hereinafter provided, the Plan shall terminate on, and no option shall be granted
after, the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. The Board may at any time terminate, modify
or amend the Plan in such respects as it shall deem advisable. Notwithstanding, any amendment with respect to the maximum number of shares
that may be issued under the Plan or extension of the term of the Plan shall be made solely by the Shareholders of the Company. Awards
granted prior to termination of the Plan may, subject to the terms of the Plan and any Agreement, be exercised thereafter. Unless otherwise
provided for herein or in the Agreement, any amendment or modification of the Plan shall be deemed included in the Plan with respect
to Awards granted or shares issued hereunder from time to time, provided, that, except as otherwise provided for herein, no amendment
or modification of the Plan may, without the consent of the grantee to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted, adversely
affect the rights of such grantee under such Award.
| 18. |

OF THE PLAN |
The
Plan shall become effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders.
| 19. |

to the generality of the foregoing, to the income tax authorities and any other governmental or administrative authority), or to a purchaser
of shares from any grantee with respect to any act or omission which has been or will be carried out in relation to the Plan, its execution
and any matter connected thereto or arising therefrom, other than willful misconduct or omission. The grantee will be required to covenant

and, in the absence of such designation by the Board the number available in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall be the maximum

Ordinary Shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Appendix, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per

SECTION
3. ELIGIBILITY
The
individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Appendix shall be U.S. Participants designated by the Board of Directors, in its sole
discretion, provided, however, that Awards shall be granted only to those individuals described in Form S-8 under the Securities
Act. Incentive Stock Options shall not be granted to any individual who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, as required
pursuant to Section 424 of the Code.
SECTION
4. OPTIONS
Upon
the grant of an Option, the Company and the U.S. Participant shall enter into an Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Agreement
shall be determined by the Board, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Options and U.S. Participants.
Options
granted under the Appendix may be either Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, as determined by the Board. Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within
the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed
a Nonqualified Stock Option.
(a)
Terms of Options. The Board in its discretion may grant Options to U.S. Participants who meet the eligibility requirements of
Section 3. Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of this Appendix and the Plan, as the Board shall deem desirable.
(i)
Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share for the Ordinary Shares covered by an Option shall be determined by the Board at
the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the Grant Date. In the case
of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Exercise Price per share for the Ordinary Shares covered
by such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the Grant Date.
(ii)
Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Board, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years from
the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the term of such Option shall
be no more than five years from the Grant Date.
(iii)
Exercisability; Rights of a Shareholder. Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments,
as set out in the Agreement and as shall be determined by the Board at or after the Grant Date. The Board may at any time accelerate
the exercisability of all or any portion of any Option. A U.S. Participant shall not be deemed to have acquired any Ordinary Shares unless
and until an Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Plan and this Appendix and the U.S. Participant’s
name has been entered on the books of the Company as a shareholder.
(iv)
Notice of Incentive Stock Option Disposition. The U.S. Participant must notify the Company promptly in the event that he or she
sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise disposes of any Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option before the
later of (i) the second anniversary of the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (ii) the first anniversary of the date the
Ordinary Shares were issued upon the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option.
(v)
Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised by a U.S. Participant in whole or in part, in the manner prescribed in Section 5
of the Plan, and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Agreement. The transfer to the U.S. Participant on the records of the Company
or of the transfer agent of the Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be contingent upon receipt
from the U.S. Participant (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Option) by the Company of the
full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Agreement or applicable provisions
of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee).
In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of
Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Options may be
permitted through the use of such an automated system.
(b)
Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section
422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Ordinary Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options granted under the Appendix and any other plan of the Company or its parent and any Subsidiary that become exercisable for
the first time by a U.S. Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other limit as may be in effect from
time to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Nonqualified Stock
Option.
(c)
Continuous Employment. Unless otherwise provided under the Code, the Incentive Stock Option will cease to be treated as an Incentive
Stock Option unless the U.S. Participant remains an employee of the Company or its Subsidiary from the date the Incentive Stock Option
is granted until not more than three months before the date on which it is exercised (or such longer periods as may be permitted in the
event termination is due to death or disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code). A leave of absence approved by the
Company may exceed three (3) months if reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment
upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then for this purpose, employment will be deemed
terminated upon the first day immediately following such three (3) month period, and any Incentive Stock Option held by the Optionee
will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option upon the expiration of three (3) months thereafter.
(d)
Termination. The treatment of any Options held by a U.S. Participant whose Service Relationship terminates for any reason shall
be as set out in the Plan or the Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the term disability
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.
SECTION
5. RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS
The
Board may grant Restricted Shares under the Appendix to U.S. Participants who meet the eligibility requirements of Section 3 under the
Appendix, in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Plan.
SECTION
6. RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS
(a)
Nature of Restricted Share Units. The Board may grant Restricted Share Units to U.S. Participants who meet the eligibility requirements
of Section 3 under the Appendix, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.3 of the Plan. Except in the case of Restricted
Share Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Share Units,
to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of Ordinary Shares. Restricted Share Units with deferred settlement dates are subject
to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion in order to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
(b)
Election to Receive Restricted Share Units in Lieu of Compensation. The Board may, in its sole discretion, permit a U.S. Participant
to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such U.S. Participant in the form of an award of Restricted
Share Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the
Board and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Board. Any such future cash compensation
that the U.S. Participant elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Share Units based on the Fair Market Value
of the Ordinary Shares on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the U.S. Participant if such payment had not been
deferred as provided herein. The Board shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections
and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Board deems appropriate. Any Restricted Share Units that
are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement.
SECTION
7. OTHER SHARE-BASED AWARDS
The
Board may grant to U.S. Participants who meet the eligibility requirements of Section 3 under the Appendix any other share-based award
in accordance with Section 8.4 of the Plan.
SECTION
8. TAX WITHHOLDING
(a)
Payment by U.S. Participant. Each U.S. Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Ordinary
Shares or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the U.S. Participant for income tax purposes,
pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and any Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted
by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the U.S. Participant. The Company’s
obligation to deliver share certificates (or evidence of book entry) to any U.S. Participant is subject to and conditioned on any such
tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the U.S. Participant.
(b)
Payment in Ordinary Shares. Subject to approval by the Board, a U.S. Participant may elect to have the Company’s minimum
required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from Ordinary Shares to be
issued pursuant to any Award a number of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected)
that would satisfy the withholding amount due. The Administrator may also require Awards to be subject to mandatory share withholding
up to the required withholding amount. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined
in the same manner as the value of the Ordinary Shares includible in income of the Participants.
SECTION
9. SECTION 409A AWARDS.
To
the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section
409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by
the Board from time to time. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service”
(within the meaning of Section 409A) to a U.S. Participant who is considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of
Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the U.S.
Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the U.S. Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary
to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. The Company
makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any U.S. Participant under the Appendix or any other person with respect
to any penalties or taxes under Section 409A that are, or may be, imposed with respect to any Award.
SECTION
10. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The
Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Appendix and the Board may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award granted
under the Appendix for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect
rights under any outstanding Award without the consent of the holder of the Award. The Board may exercise its discretion to reduce the
Exercise Price of outstanding Options or effect repricing through cancellation of outstanding Options and by granting such holders new
Options in replacement of the cancelled Options. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on
which the Stock is listed, or to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock
Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Appendix amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company
shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders. Nothing in this Section 10 shall limit the Board’s authority to take
any action permitted pursuant to Section 10 or 16 of the Plan.
SECTION
11. EFFECTIVE DATE OF APPENDIX
The
Appendix shall become effective as of the date the Plan becomes effective, and shall be approved by shareholders within 12 months following
its adoption by the Board in accordance with applicable law and the articles of association of the Company as amended from time to time.
If the shareholders fail to approve the Appendix within 12 months after its adoption by the Board, then any Awards granted or sold under
the Appendix shall be rescinded and no additional grants or sales shall thereafter be made under the Appendix. Subject to such approval
by shareholders and to the requirement that no Ordinary Shares may be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Options may be granted
hereunder on and after effective date of the Plan. No grants of Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date
the Appendix is adopted by the Board or the date the Appendix is approved by the Company’s shareholders, whichever is earlier.
